Mr. Mike Marley of the Examiner.com once played a clever trick on a feature reporter at the expense of Hermie Rivera.
?I wonder if the story about Rosalio Pacquiao and the canine is true,? asked the scribe.
?Why don?t you ask him? He?s wearing the Philippine Airlines cap,? said the poker face Mr. Marley.
?Sir, are you Manny Pacquiao?s dad??
?Madam, right now, I wish I was,? the jet-lagged Mr. Rivera quipped without missing a beat.
The man (with the PAL cap) on the left is Hermie Rivera?my dad.
The man on the right is Rosalio Pacquiao---Manny?s father.
Fair warning.
